Name of creator

(1925–1957, ca.1970–1972)

Administrative history

Abbey Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Swift Current Presbytery and containing preaching points at Abbey, Shackleton and Badger Mound. Later additions included preaching points at Lancer and Roe (before 1951), Portreeve and Lemsford.

In 1957, the charge combined with Leader Pastoral Charge (including Leader, Sceptre and Prelate) to form Leader-Sceptre-Abbey Pastoral Charge. Sometime near 1970, Abbey United Church separated, forming Abbey-Trinity Pastoral Charge. Around 1972, Lancer and Portreeve joined with Abbey to become Abbey-Lancer-Portreeve Pastoral Charge.

Custodial history

Original provenance for many of the records in the fonds is unclear. Initial items were transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986. An additional accrual was received by Saskatchewan Conference archives in 2013.

The fonds consists of textual materials generated by Abbey Pastoral Charge, Lancer Pastoral Charge, Abbey-Lancer-Portreeve Pastoral Charge, their predecessors and constituent churches – church boards, committees and related bodies, local women’s units and other groups.
